Lovely hotel in a great location with wonderful rooms. However, be sure to request a room with actual windows. The one they gave me had small portholes as windows and barely any light entered the room. I requested a room change but was told no rooms were available due to 100% occupancy (not quite 100% sure if this was true as the hotel was very quiet). The spa was great although the gym lacks enough equipment for a real work out (if that is what you require). Right across the street is Retiro Park which is a great place for a jog. I would consider staying here again if I got a room with sunlight.

An incredible hotel to arrive when you are jet lagged. Very comfortable and very accommodating and helpful staff. Free WiFi which is such a plus. The bed was very comfortable and the location was perfect to hit the big museums in Madrid.

I stayed just one night in this hotel on a whirlwind trip to Madrid and found it to be ideally located for exploring the historic city centre. Right across the street from Parque del Retiro, the hotel is also very close to the Prado museum. The staff was very friendly and attentive and the interiors very sophisticated and well appointed. I would definitely stay here again.

Visited Madrid in October during the banking demonstrations - not a great time to explore the city at night! Nevertheless, we stayed in a beautiful, contemporary room with a seating area and dining table dividing the bedroom (jr. suite?) Room was not available on arrival so they stored our bags and we left immediately for the Prado. Was able to tour quickly before the crowds arrived - got a semi-private tour with an English speaking guide which was so much better than the usual audioguided tour - MUST see Las Meninas (sp?) by Velasquez, expecially if you plan to go to the Picasso museum in Barcelona. One hour tour was 10 euros/pp. LOVED the free Nespresso machine in the hotel room. Didn't try the hotel breakfast - was pricey and didn't seem that interesting. Staff was very helpful with maps and directions to various sites.

The bldg is very pretty and the location is great; it was wonderful to have free wifi in room. Rooms were spacious, clean, well decorated. We loved the free drinks in the room fridge and all the toiletries as well. The staff was young, but very friendly and helpful, by far the best staff during our 2wk trip. Some (-): don't stay on ground or fourth floor. Our 4th fl room had no windows other than 2 ship portholes near the ceiling. When we moved the next night to ground fl, the room was spacious and beautiful but very noisy. Bar was boring, agree that food/drink overpriced. We paid 1 nt and used points 1 nt, otherwise I'd say the hotel is also overpriced...& it's not a level 7, I'm afraid.

Room Tip: stay away from ground and 4th floors
